I have a Sunbeam Steam Master that I got at Wal-Mart. I've had it for some time--can't remember just when I got it, but it's been a few years. It was in the $30-$40 range. It has an automatic shut-off. All I have to do to get it going again is tilt it forward. I've been very happy with it. I also have an expensive Rowenta which I use only for heat transfers because I could no longer turn the dial heat selector. It stays on hot, so I just plug it in when I do an iron on transfer. I don't think I will ever spend big bucks on an iron again.
